I love this blog and sharing my opinions on books with people. I've really enjoyed getting recommendations from others, and I hope a few people have found good books on here too. But as much as I love the books I've been reading, there are many books I read before starting the blog that I want to share too! That's why I decided to start the Sunday Series Spotlight and tell everyone about my old favorites.
You're welcome to share your own favorite series...es... –just grab the button and leave a link in the comments.
This week's spotlight is on
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
Vladimir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school—it’s a hidden place where vampires are educated in the ways of magic and half-human teens train to protect them. Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, a bodyguard for her best friend Lissa, a Moroi Vampire Princess. They’ve been on the run, but now they’re being dragged back to St. Vladimir’s—the very place where they’re most in danger...
Rose and Lissa become enmeshed in forbidden romance, the Academy’s ruthless social scene, and unspeakable nighttime rituals. But they must be careful lest the Strigoi—the world’s fiercest and most dangerous vampires—make Lissa one of them forever...
Vampire Academy was the first YA series I read after
Twilight, and I was so relieved to find something with actual characters and plot. VA is exciting, touching, romantic, and action-packed. While it's certainly clear that the characters are in high school for most of the series, it isn't as angst-ridden as a lot of the YA books I've read more recently. Richelle Mead writes books that are always fun to read, and I can't wait to see what happens to the VA secondary characters next in
The Golden Lily.
Have you read VA? Do you plan to? Let me know what you think in the comments!

I love your comments! I try to respond to them...eventually!
This is now an award-free blog. I love and totally appreciate that you thought of me, but I know myself better than to think I would be organized enough to pass them along, and that doesn't seem fair.
